DEAD

Those of a certain age, who were lucky enough to have a TV, and a colour one at that, will recall Fingermouse and his friends.

"Tributes have been paid to the former children’s TV presenter Rick Jones, best known for hosting Play School and Fingerbobs, who has died from cancer. He was 84.

A generation of children grew up with Jones on TV, as he appeared on a variety of BBC children’s shows in the 1970s. His death was announced on Friday.

He began his career as part of the team fronting Play School, a daily programme for preschool-age children, which featured him singing songs and playing his guitar.

He then was the mime artist “Yoffy” behind Fingerbobs. The 10-minute episodes featured paper finger-puppet characters, including Fingermouse and Gulliver the seagull, in different scenarios. There were only 13 episodes of the series, but they were repeated regularly for more than a decade." (Yahoo)

Fingerbob a classic in the golden age of children's programmes, also for me Bod and my all-time favourite Mr Benn
